Playing UK (Region 2) DVDs in the USA
If you've brought over your DVD collection with you from the UK, you'll find that as the UK uses DVD region 2, your US DVD player won't play them. Fear
not, as this can be resolved without having to sell them before you leave! You just have to know where to look! There are no specific details here,
though they are easily located with search engines.
Playback on your PC
Most PC DVD-ROM and DVD-RW drives can be unlocked using an RPC II unlock utility, at which point they will play any region you ask them to. LiteOn drives are
always good for this.
Unlocking a player
There are lots of players on the market. My personal favourite is the Philips DVP642 can be made region free by pressing a sequence of digits
on the controller. It also plays DivX, WMA, mpeg movies, and mp3s without a hitch.
The Sampo DVE 612N, and various though not all Apex AD players can be unlocked in similar fashion.
